Recreation Department Brings Medieval Adventure to Life — Featuring Tim Henning’s First Special News Report

The Arc Mercer Recreation Department recently coordinated a memorable trip to Medieval Times, giving 13 consumers the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon filled with excitement, entertainment, and community fun. Thanks to the support of the Transportation Department, consumers traveled safely to and from the event, helping make the experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.

From cheering knights and galloping horses to a royal feast fit for a king, the trip created lasting memories for all who attended. Consumers enjoyed the immersive atmosphere, delicious food, and thrilling performances that brought the medieval world to life.

For consumer Tim Henning, the experience became something even more special, the inspiration for his very first “Newshour”-style special report. Tim, who dreams of becoming a news reporter, shared his own detailed recap of the day, highlighting the food, entertainment, and excitement of the event through his unique perspective.

Tim’s report is a wonderful reminder that recreation experiences are about more than just having fun. They help build confidence, encourage creativity, and provide opportunities for consumers to express themselves and share their voices with others.

Enjoy Tim Henning’s first-ever special news report below:

“Good Evening, I am Timothy Richard Henning on the Newshour. Tonight there will be a topic about Medieval Times. Medieval Times is located on 149 Polito Avenue, Lyndhurst, N.J. 07071. I went to Medieval Times with my staff Emmanuel, Ms. Lashana, Taci, and other people. I ate a chicken leg, corn on the cob, tomato soup, and lemonade with Pepsi and water to drink. I ate garlic bread, potatoes and string beans. There were two different teams on horses, and a bird was flying through the air. There was a king and a queen and they were throwing flowers. I'm Tim Henning, thank you and goodnight.”

The Arc Mercer is proud to celebrate opportunities like these that empower consumers to explore their interests, build confidence, and create meaningful memories in the community.
